Topic: Desktop backup stops at 2GB

[wilfried lechner]

Hi!

If I perform a desktop backup via IE5.5 the download stops always at 2GB. I tryed to use download managers but i can´t figure out how to this. I always get the http page of the backup settings.

Any ideas are welcome

Hi,

probably just the limits of your desktop's OS, if you are using a FAT filesystem there. FAT32 would be limited to 4 GB I believe, NTFS should be even better.

I have a feeling its got to do with TAR, just a thought?

Dunno about the various file systems.. My backup stops at 3.99GB (using 2k/ntfs) I haven't tried with 9x yet..
